OMT013 : El Gueye / Tameu

 


Cover art by A.L.


OMT013: El Gueye / Tameu

Tameu is the new single from Senegal star El Gueye (see also OMT005). 
It means 'inseparable' in wolof.
A simple story of 2 people that cannot live separately.

El Gueye has already recorded 3 albums and is recognised as one of the best singer and composer in Senegal. 
The Senegalese musical heritage is better known than that of most African countries, thanks to the popularity of this mbalax style and Sabar drumming is particularly popular.
El Gueye is preparing a new album that will include lots of new different elements going further away from Mbalax.



Tameu:
Damala tameu tameu
Damala tameu tameu
